Steve Clarke - Scotland record breaker

This week, Clarke is set to become the Scotland manager who has overseen the most matches - but could also go joint-top for most wins

Steve Clarke will lead Scotland out at Hampden in two crucial World Cup Qualifying matches this week. In Sunday’s clash at Hampden against Belarus, he will set the new record for most matches managed for Scotland (72), one ahead of the late Craig Brown’s 71 matches.

Clarke can also move level with Brown as the Scotland manager with the highest number of wins - if Scotland win both games this week, against Greece and then Belarus.
